assert

By default (that is, in the absence of the -source 1.4 switch), a J2SE 1.4 compiler does not allow assert statements

Above is the exact wording from a book.

But i am able to compile class containingassert statement without the use ofjavac -source 1.4 Foo.java by just using

javac Foo.java. I am not getting any warning or error.
